Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer 1813 coin from the Canton of Solothurn was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important step in this process. The 1 Kreuzer coin was part of a new currency system that was introduced in 1813, which replaced the various local currencies that had been used in different parts of the country. This coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of copper and silver, and it weighed 1.0 g. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the time, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
